Whenever I run 'meld' without any arguments (these days) I get the following output:

{
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/meld", line 25, in <module>
from multiprocessing import freeze_support
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/multiprocessing/__init__.py", line 16, in <module>

import pickle
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/pickle.py", line 1083
" raise EOFError

IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
}

Please advise what can be done to overcome this problem. Thanks in advance for your help.

I reinstalled 'python' and the problem went away.

I don't know how the "/usr/lib/python3.7/pickle.py" file became corrupted. I certainly didn't edit it.
